City Calm Down‘s In A Restless House is undoubtedly one of our favourite Australian albums of the year. Embracing a rich, expansive, not to mention thoroughly enjoyable sound, it’s unsurprising that they achieved a Triple J album of the week, an already-huge reputation as a stellar live act, with sold out tour dates across the country and an ever-growing fanbase. This week, they released the gorgeous new video clip for recent single Son.
Directed by Pran Sen, religion meets rock in this black-and-white clip, with scene after scene of shots crafted to embellish the regality, even holiness of the soundscape itself. Each band member, and one mesmerising dance feature in scenes surrounded by their instruments, wide ceilings and stained glass windows. Sen has captured Son’s atmosphere down to the tee; the visual output embodies the song’s soaring regality.
City Calm Down will be performing at Falls Festival (Lorne) across New Years, and Sugar Mountain Festival in January. They’ve also announced a string of shows in April 2016 – we highly recommend catching them live. Dates below, grab your tickets here.
